Regular Maintenance

Tieline recommends the codec undergoes regular maintenance to ensure operational efficiency and prolong its life.

 

Warning

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS:

A readily accessible disconnect device shall be incorporated in the building installation wiring.

Due to the risks of electrical shock, and energy, mechanical, and fire hazards, any procedures that involve opening panels or changing components must be performed by qualified service personnel only.

To reduce the risk of fire and electrical shock, disconnect the device from the power line before removing the cover or panels.

This unit has more than one power supply. Disconnect all power supplies before opening to avoid electric shock. Disconnecting one power supply disconnects only one power supply module. To isolate the unit completely, disconnect all power supplies.

 

SERVICING WARNINGS:

Do not perform any servicing other than that contained in the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.

All work should be carried out by suitably qualified personnel.

This unit has more than one power supply. Disconnect all power cables before maintenance to avoid electric shock.

 

HIGH VOLTAGE WARNINGS:

Any adjustment, maintenance, and repair of the opened instrument under voltage must be avoided as much as possible and, when inevitable, must be carried out only by a skilled person who is aware of the hazard involved.

Capacitors inside the instrument may still be charged even if the instrument has been disconnected from its source of supply.

 

GROUNDING:

Before connecting this device to the power line, where required, the protective earth terminal screws of this device must be connected to the protective earth in the building installation.

 

LINE VOLTAGE:

Before connecting this device to the power line, make sure the voltage of the power source matches the requirements of the device. Refer to the device Specifications for information about the correct power rating for the device.

 

FUSES:

Make sure that only fuses with the required rated current and of the specified type are used for replacement. The use of repaired fuses and the short-circuiting of fuse holders must be avoided. Whenever it is likely that the protection offered by fuses has been impaired, the instrument must be made inoperative and be secured against any unintended operation.

Maintenance Schedule

Tieline recommends a three year maintenance schedule which includes the following procedures to be completed:

 

1.Evacuate all dust from the unit and clean vents.

2.Replace both PSUs. LEDs on the front panel, if extinguished, will indicate a failed PSU.

 

Controlled rack environments may allow a longer maintenance cycle. Uncontrolled environments, where temperatures are elevated, may require a shorter maintenance cycle.

 

Tieline recommends that the racks in which codecs are installed are thoroughly evacuated to ensure proper airflow from the bottom to the top. Where space is available, a 1RU gap between codecs will assist in minimizing internal temperature build up. Tieline has incorporated dual redundant PSUs to assist in maintaining reliable operations. Maintaining internal rack temperature below 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees F) will greatly extend the codec working life.
